About Aruna

In Hindu mythology and scriptures, Aruná or Arun sometimes also called Anoora, is a personification of the reddish glow of the rising Sun, which is believed to have spiritual powers. The presence of Aruná, the coming of day, is invoked in Hindu prayers to Surya.

Vinata was one of the wives of rishi Kashyapa, and she bore him two sons, Aruná and Garuda, bringing them out as eggs. Vinata was promised that her sons would be powerful if she waited for them to hatch from their eggs. However, her impatience to hatch them took root, and she broke one of them.

From the broken egg a flash of light, Aruná, sprang forth. He was as radiant and reddish as the morning sun. But, due to the premature breaking of the egg, Aruná was not as bright as the noon sun as he was promised to be. Aruná's brother, Garuda, was born regularly, and eventually became the main vehicle of VishnuVishnuVishnu is one of the Supreme Gods of Hindus and is a part of Hindu Trinity,... Aruná is sometimes considered a part of Surya, as he is the vision and driving force behind its path through the sky.
